Haaa gotcha Dr. Freyer!

Very rough comic thingie on something that never gets talked about! (in the way I view it at least.)

I hear a lot of people talk about the SA in the show, some of which used for gags. But I've only seen it talked about with the girl characters. Yagi gets mobbed by fangirls in the movie and kissed, unknown if consensual or not? (I see it as SA personally) Only heard it talked about three times in the past 4 years I've been in this fandom! I feel like if he were younger and not a guy, it'd probably be brought up more, considering other sa gags in the series get brought up.

Sure he's been seen letting people touch him in the first few episodes, but still, I'm giving the gag a more serious thought. I'd imagine that after having it happen for so long, he'd be more used to it and allow the touches (whilst feeling discomfort inside), which... Doesn't make it right. This is for me and the... 3 others who think of this scene in a more negative way, aha 😅

hey what if jack got Really mad at castiel using him as an excuse to stick around. it feels SIMILAR but not quite the same as sam using him to open up a portal. like legitimately i think jack would feel a bit gutted at the idea that someone who made him feel safe enough that he promised cas anything so he'd stick around, only cared about him (AT FIRST. I Can't Stress This Enough.) because it gave cas an excuse to stay on earth. the whole "jack made us a family but he's gone now"

Yeah, that’s one of the reasons I love this view that Cas’s initial reaction to Jack… was tangled up w/ his own identity crisis.

The fodder for potential family baggage is just… Nnnngh!!!!

(Aside// love the idea of this fight: that Jack himself wasn’t what made Cas stay: it was what Jack signified at the time.)

///

Faith in the future:

In 12x19, it reads to me like Jack’s existence validated Castiel’s faith in something bigger than himself, which, after so much doubt/crisis/vulnerability, made him feel strong again.

To Cas, Jack became a symbol of the Future. But at his lowest point, instead of hoping for a better future, Cas clung to Jack as proof that everything was unfolding as it was meant to—as a symbol of Fate.

Looking positively towards the future ISN'T necessarily a bad thing, so long as it doesn't swing too far into positive nihilism, and like I’ve said before... hoping for Big Things(TM) from your child is a common metaphor for parental struggle.

But it does mean that in those early days, Castiel’s devotion to Jack was wrapped up in what Jack represented as much as who Jack actually was.

///

Strong again:

And that vision of Cas’s in the 12x19 script—man. Cas doesn’t just see a world where Jack brings peace to the Winchesters. He sees himself transformed. Jack gives Sam freedom, gives Dean peace, and gives Cas a sense of power and purpose again. Cas is standing there shirtless and imposing, protective as an angel should be, while Dean is in extreme close-up, saying thank you.

Whether you interpret it as explicitly sexual or not, there’s an undeniable intimacy in how it's framed.

The through-line of Cas’s strength runs all the way from not being able to find the boys in prison (First Blood) to Ishim (Lily Sunder…) to Ramiel (Stuck in the Middle with You). He doesn’t want them to protect him. That’s anathema to Cas.

He wants a win for Dean… and for himself. This one of the few chunks of time that focuses not on what Cas does, but on how he is seen… and he’s seen by Dean. That’s significant to me.

///

That pesky brainwashing:

And Jack’s brainwashing capacity, whether you think it was Jack’s subconscious or Chuck’s interference, adds even more stuff to why Cas was so immediately, fervently devoted.

I think that if Jack ever came to realize the truth of THAT, even partially, it would hurt like mofo, don’t you?

omfg he didn't really love me he doesn't really love me etc (Note/edit: It's implied here that Jack had no idea.)

///

We do actually get a glimpse of Cas and Jack fighting in 14x02:

JACK: It wasn’t a risk. CAS: To—to go out there alone? Jack, you have been on the radar of every angel and demon and power broker in creation since the day you were born and I’m sorry, but you’re not exactly yourself. JACK: Weak and defenseless, you mean. CAS (teeth gritting): I mean that the possibility of capture is real, yes.

It nice, because usually what we see is Cas being stern with Jack, and Jack listening silently, eyes downcast.

Respectful.

But here, when Cas berates him—Jack chafes, stepping up into Castiel’s space, eyes flashing.

Jack is frustrated by being viewed as “stupid."

So, Jack throws a barb: that he wanted to see his real family. The way he spits those words echoes Dean in 5x21—when he looks Bobby in the eye and says "You’re not my father."

If Jack REALLY wanted to hit Cas where it hurts, though:

CAS: You’ve been on the radar of every angel and demon and power broker since you were born!

All Jack REALLY has to do and turn around and say that maybe Cas was one of those power brokers.

This would be fertile ground for a fight that reveals too much: Jack charging Cas with being a power broker, and Cas accidentally revealing that acting to protect Jack wasn’t 100% of his own free will at first.

The devastation on Jack’s face is immediate, and Cas scrambles to reassure him—"It’s my choice now." 

But the damage is done.

I think this could create a deep fracture in their relationship—one that’s not easily mended.

Now that I think about it, this might be a more realistic way for the Big Fight(TM) to begin between the two of them.

Emmrich is one of those characters where I feel completely in his head space

I understand exactly why the argument happened and why he chose that night over any other night to bring up the age gap

Writing the will was obviously the trigger

Add in the fact that him and Rook didn't take the time to talk about his choice to remain mortal as a couple and the night being stressful and you automatically have a recipe for spiraling

[symphonysanctum]

I just need Vergil to reunite with his other fragments even if he is whole, because now as a system I think about it so often and I would hate to be alone again after having split in such a traumatic way and learning to rely on other parts of himself just for there to be silence and an empty echo of space where they were once,

Okay I didn't share any of my whumptober fics here except from the first one, but pspspspsps Hidden Town fandom come get your food.

This is just me caring too much about Chris, the mentioned victim in Unwanted Experiment, of all characters. I love him; I'm like this with him

HAPPY 5TH ANNIVERSARY TO UNWANTED EXPERIMENT!!🧑‍🔬🧪

The 2nd Dark Dome game of the series! And the 2nd game I played! Wow, I wasn't even a teenager back then. So far we (still) don't know how the game directly connects to the others, but let's forget about that topic and enjoy the celebration!

Here's a fan art of my own!

[fallershipping]

Fakemon consumers (or Pokemon fanmade design work) are the backseat drivers of artwork if said backseat driver never even stepped foot in a Driver's ED class.

They gotta share their opinion the way someone comes into your house to take a stinky poopy in your toilet.

like ok thanks but it's so ass bro

edit: Don't worry, I get awesome suggestions too. I'm not that cruel LOLOL

Finally escaped!

I have now finished my index for this series' lore (fucking finally, it took me forever-). It's a VERY long document and I'm too sleepy to proofread it again so I'll just edit any errors out in the morning.

This is to just help anyone catch up with the games and its stories in preparation for Hidden Memories and any other future installments (spoilers of course if you haven't played it yet), and it helps to keep any and all information about them organized into one file when thinking about the overall plot the series is taking. As of posting this, I haven't included the new info provided by HM's trailer such as the protagonist's name being Lucian and the reveal that Delian would be in this game. This is where I'll also be revising my version of the games' timeline so I wouldn't bombard the tag every couple of months with an updated version of it.

I'll update this every once in a while once new games are released and as for when Hidden Memories finally arrives, I'll wait for at least two weeks after release so as to not accidentally spoil it for anyone. Hope you guys like it!

[empty-blog-for-lurking]

Look Unwanted Experiment is part of dark dome lore and will absolutely be a bigger part of it (I am manifesting) because Nowhere House itself references it and the Hospital the scientist was taken in Ghost Case AND we also get origami fish in Another Shadow but also like-

Wouldn't it be funny if the game had nothing to do with the story. Like yeah Hidden Town is filled ancient mysteries and dark magic and corrupted souls and other dimension things and such and also there was this one evil scientist who loved turning people into mutants. He locked up two people in his basement. Yeah he had nothing to do with the other bs, dude just came like tthat

Limerent-Aro

For any aro-spectrum individuals that have struggled with a limerence. This was just made for representation, awareness, and also to validate any aro-spectrum individuals who have dealt with a Limerence and want to heal from that experience.

- exclusive to those who have experienced a limerence which is usually linked to some form of neurodivergency

[snakedemonstories]

I seriously can't with these two. He sees her frowning and he is like "why are you upset? Let me create some snow to cheer you up."

And Xiao Yao likes the snow, but she is worried about him, because he uses his spirit power to heal her for years and doing tricks to make her happy might lead to him overusing his power. Translation: she cares for him

He sees her body frowning again, so Xiao Yao's spirit relaxes her face and smiles. So that he doesn't worry anymore.

And then, Xiao Yao's face relaxes as well. Xiang Liu is so happy *melting* and seeing him happy, her spirit smiles too. Look at them!
